ATF Searching for Rifle Stolen from Virginia Officer's Vehicle

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Washington Field Division is offering a $2,500 reward for information leading to the arrest of whoever is reportedly responsible for stealing a patrol rifle from an officer's vehicle late last week.

According to ABC News, an unknown number of suspects broke into the patrol vehicle of an officer with the Petersburg Bureau of Police and made away with a patrol rifle.

Chief Kenneth Miller issued a call to citizens to help in the investigation, saying, "We see the community as part of the team when it comes to solving criminal activity because the information they provide truly can make all the difference."

Two Minneapolis City Council members have tweeted this week that they're looking to make serious changes to, or possibly eliminate, the Minneapolis Police Department after George Floyd's death last week.

By the time San Leandro officers arrived at the Dodge dealership, dozens of cars were gone and thieves were peeling out of the lot in $100,000 Challenger Hellcat muscle cars. Nearly 75 vehicles were stolen Sunday, including models driven through glass showroom doors to escape.

“Our only path forward is to dismantle the systems that are designed to harm people of color,” Wesson said on Twitter. “A preliminary cut to the LAPD budget will not solve everything, but it’s a step toward to being the city we aspire to be.”
